FACSS 2007

FACSS, the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies, will hold this year's annual conference from 14–18 October, at the Memphis Cook Convention Center, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. It will cover analytical chemistry with an emphasis on spectroscopy. Bringing together leading scientists across many disciplines for scientific exchange, the exhibition also provides a variety of informal networking opportunities.

The Federation was founded to combine smaller meetings into an annual meeting and the FACSS conference was established as the National Meeting for the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.

Each day will start with plenary presentations given either by internationally recognized speakers or annual award recipients, these will then be followed by eight concurrent sessions within each half-day period and each of those sessions is composed of poster and oral presentations. Prizes are awarded daily for outstanding poster presentations. Original research papers are presented at the conference from all areas of analytical chemistry and spectroscopy. Symposia topics will include: atomic spectroscopy, chemometrics, forensics, mass spectrometry, nanotechnology, process control, surface plasmon, bioanalytical, fluorescence, imaging science, molecular spectroscopy and pharmaceutical. Affiliate organizations of FACSS are ACS-Analytical Division, ANACHEM, American Society for Mass Spectrometry, Coblentz, ISA, Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.
